Did you pull the plug?

I was really liking this. I'm glad I kept 1.2.8 and will keep using it. I recently switched from Firefox to Brave Origin and appreciate the hard work and thought put into this.
Thank You

Thanks, I ran out of credits. Tomorrow morning when I have time I will look at it.

When you release Ad-Shields Extra for Firefox, I'll be happy to try it out as what will likely be my third extension.
Although, to be honest, I'm very interested in the download protection mechanism.
Will it be similar to the version for Chromium-based browsers?

It will have a different name because an AdSield Pro alreadu exists. It will be AdShield extra of Chrome with the Disconnect filters and without an icon badge count.

Firefox does not has this Chrome function, in stead they steer towards using old WebReQuest for block count (and sort of make DNR useless because you have to mirror the DNR rules with WebRequest to count the blocks). Which seems crazy to me. So I am currently opting for no block count on the icon.

Another small remark (please change):



This reminds me of some other extension. Do you have permission from the developer of that extension?

Yes.
uBlock Origin Lite for Firefox also doesn't have a counter in the extension.

In FF I will not use an AdShield variant (and finally also not in Brave). I prefer 3P-M in partnership with browsers own privacy protection.

That is the idea behind the modular approach, mix and match

 

[Jan Willy]

Indeed. In FF I will use as long as possible uBO with its excellent third party protection. In Brave and Edge 3P-M.

The enitre project has been removed from Github.

Reason: uBS in Brave scores higher Speedometer 3.1 benchmarks and it took ages to be reviewed by Google.
